Silicon carbide, SiC, is commonly known as carborundum. This hard substance, which is used commercially as an abrasive, is made

by heating SiO2 and C to high temperatures.
SiO2(s) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)
How many grams of SiC form when 3.00 g of SiO2 and 4.50 g of C are allowed to react?

Mass of SiC = 2 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

SiO₂(s) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

3.00 g of SiO₂

4.50 g of C

Required

mass of SiC

Solution

mol SiO₂ (MW=60,08 g/mol) :

= 3 g : 60.08 g/mol

= 0.0499

mol C(Ar = 12 g/mol) :

= 4.5 g : 12 g/mol

= 0.375

mol : coefficient of reactants =

SiO₂ : 0.0499/1 = 0.0499

C : 0.375/3 = 0.125

SiO₂ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

Mol SiC based on mol SiO₂ = 0.0499

Mass SiC :

= mol x MW

= 0.0499 x 40,11 g/mol

= 2 g

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2

How does atomic hydrogen torch function for cutting and welding purposes​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach   4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.

A sample of gas has a volume of 215 cm3 at 23.5 degrees Celsius and 84.6kPa what volume will the gas occupy at stp
miss Akunina [59]

The volume of the gas that occupy at STP is 165. 28 cm^3

calculation

by use of combined gas law that is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2, where

P1=84.6 kpa

T1=23.5 +273=296.5 K

V1=215 cm^3

At STP T= 273 K and P= 101.325 Kpa

therefore p2 = 101.325 Kpa and T2 = 272 K V2=?

by making V2 the subject of the formula V2 =T2P1V1/P2T1

V2 = 273 K x 84.6 Kpa x 215 cm^3/ 101,.325 Kpa x296.5 K =165.28 cm^3
